  1. With the relaxing of safe distancing measures kicking in on 19 Aug, 50% of WFH employees are allowed to return to the office. If you are one of those who are still under the WFH arrangement, you would have woken up to a nice cool morning, which is perfect for sleeping in working from home. If you had to go back to the office, well, it sucks to be you. Especially if you live in the East. Why? What started as heavy rain in the wee hours of the morning gradually turned into a flash flood for Singaporeans living in the East. If you missed what happened, watch these videos taken from various perspectives: The flash flood occurred just after Tampines Expressway (TPE) Exit 5, at the junction of Tampines Ave 10 and Pasir Ris Ave 12. What happened? The heavy rain resulted in PUB disseminating numerous flood risk alerts for various locations across the island throughout the morning of 20th August. Here's a video to give you an idea of the intensity and volume of water from today's heavy rain: The flash flood caused a total of 13 vehicles to be partially submerged. As a result of the rising water level, these vehicles could not move due to the excessive water that entered the engine bay. NGL, but I am afraid these vehicles will never be the same again. Aftermath A total of 25 people self-evacuated their vehicles before SCDF officers arrived on the scene, while SCDF officers evacuated 5 other people. The SCDF also conveyed 1 person to Changi General Hospital due to a leg injury. We wish the injured party a speedy recovery!! Netizens' comments Even if the EV won't sot, I also sot from its repair cost. Any SUV owners want to ascertain this? Hahahaha buy already, you dare to bring out and kayak during a flash flood?

  2. askST: What do I do if my car is caught in a flash flood? source: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/ask-st-what-do-i-do-if-my-car-is-caught-in-a-flash-flood?utm_medium=social&utm_source=telegram&utm_campaign=sttg Singapore experienced flash floods at three locations on Monday (Nov 2). One car was seen submerged. ST answers questions on what to do if your car is near a flash flood. Q. How do I know whether I can drive through a flash flood? It depends largely on the amount of ground clearance that one's car has, said The Straits Times' senior transport correspondent Christopher Tan. Generally, it is not safe to drive through a flood. A typical family car has a ground clearance of 120 to 140mm, which is not very high. But if necessary, one should gauge the water depth by looking at the road curbs. If the curbs are still visible or just below water level, it is relatively safe to proceed. If the curb is not visible, it is riskier to proceed unless you are in a tall vehicle like an SUV or a truck. Otherwise, you may end up driving into a drain, canal or over a ledge. Q. What should I do when driving on a submerged road? Drive very slowly and steadily in a low gear to keep your engine speed high and constant until your car is out of the water, suggests the Automobile Association of Singapore (AAS). This prevents water from entering the exhaust pipe, which will damage electronics. Driving slowly also reduces the risk of losing steering control. To avoid stopping in the middle of the flood, allow oncoming traffic as well as vehicles going in the same direction to pass. Do not lift your foot or apply brakes midway to minimise turbulence and backflow that can lead to water intake. After clearing the flooded area, apply the brakes gently for a few minutes to rid them of moisture, which may have impacted their performance. Q. What should I do if my car stalls while driving through a flash flood? Do not attempt to restart it as that may damage the engine, said the AAS. Ensure the car's bonnet is closed because you may have difficulty restarting the engine. Switch on the hazard lights to alert other drivers around you and call for help. Q. Should I abandon my stalled car? It is important to leave the car and get to higher ground if the water level reaches the bottom edge of the car door, said the AAS. Avoid waiting for the car to get submerged as the doors may not open and you will be trapped inside. Moving water at a depth of 15 cm can make it unstable for an adult to walk. Upon exiting the car, call for a tow truck to avoid causing congestion on the road.

  11. CNA News report : View CCTV images of flood-prone areas on PUB's website Posted: 29 March 2012 1343 hrs SINGAPORE: From Thursday, the public can find out which areas have been hit by floods by checking closed-circuit television (CCTV) images on national water agency PUB's website. The images are from 24 flood-prone areas and hotspots islandwide, including areas such as Orchard Road, Shenton Way, Bukit Timah Road, Upper Thomson, Veerasamy Road, Tampines St 81 and Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. PUB said the images will be updated every five minutes. There are currently 65 CCTVs installed at areas which are flood-prone or have recently experienced flash floods. PUB said the 24 selected CCTVs are located at roads with higher traffic flow. The agency said the CCTV images will help to improve public preparedness as part of Singapore's overall flood management effort. Mr William Yeo, PUB's deputy director of Catchment and Waterways said, "We have installed CCTVs at various locations to help us better monitor real-time site conditions during heavy rainstorms. "This enables us to deploy manpower on site faster in the event of a flash flood and provide more timely updates to the public." Members of the public can also obtain information and updates about flash floods via SMS alerts, PUB's Facebook page and Twitter account. The public can also tune in to radio broadcasts for flash flood alerts. - CNA/cc so during heavy rain, stop vehicle by the side and surf the Net .... How many of us have iPad or Samsung Gal Tab inside car ???
